"I prepared this recipe for the first time! I used: 2 round greased 7" foil pans to bake the dip in! I also used: 2 cups of well-rinsed and drained sauerkraut, 8 thinly sliced pieces of pastrami, finely chopped, 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded, 2 cups finely shredded Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup 1000 Island salad dressing, and the 1 tsp. caraway seed! This appetizer should definitely score high-I plan to use it at the hospital for my volunteer stint on Wednesday/Thursday of this week! I bought a loaf of Jewish Rye Bread, a package of Everything Bagels and a package of Rye/Pumpernickel Swirl Bread. as dippers. I also had a deli-style cold cut/deli-style cheese challenge this week on the Cook's Corner for TOH! This dish was PERFECT to use! Thank you, Jeffrey Metzler, for sharing your recipe! I guarantee that I'll be using it again when the time is right! delowenstein"

"I have made a similar version of this for years. I use an 8 oz. package of cream cheese, and only 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. I put it all in my small crockpot and usually serve with rye crackers, or rye cocktail bread. I never have any leftovers to bring home! The cheddar cheese just adds to the consistency and does not really affect the great reuben taste. If you only use swiss cheese, you get strings of cheese hanging when you try to dip out of it. It is definitely worth trying."
